About Sally Bassett

Sally Bassett spent a number of years teaching in primary and secondary schools before taking an honours degree in Fine Art.

The essence of Sally's work is its energy, vitality and colour. Her art work commences with observational drawings and notes collected in a small sketchbook. Mediums used include charcoal on paper, acrylic paint on canvas or board, collage on paper, or silk dye on silk.

Much of Sally's work is based on her being in the landscape or by the sea in all seasons and weathers. This results in many of her pieces holding a special atmosphere and feeling of the moment.

Her most successful pieces evolve when she has been able to distil the power, colour, atmosphere and essence of a place or subject and to communicate her excitement in a three way dialogue between artist, work and viewer.
